Alberta health minister Adriana LaGrange will announce a pay boost of up to $250 million a year for Alberta family doctors.

The changes have been years in the making, following bitter public spats between the Alberta Medical Association and the government over long delays.

The new system includes support for after-hours care and expanded roles for nurse practitioners.

Rural doctors who work in hospitals will get higher rates of pay.
